[Fixed] XnView MP some settings not moved

Hi, i'm testing PortableApps.com Platform for the first time and found something weird with XnView MP.

It looks like the portableapps edition only looks for

Thumb.db
XnView.db
xnview.ini

These files are getting moved between \XnViewMPPortable\Data and \XnViewMPPortable\App\XnViewMP64 when the application starts

But when you make more changes to XnView MP there are 3 more files where settings are saved

bookmark.ini
default.keys
default.bar

I pasted all 6 files in \XnViewMPPortable\Data and started XnView MP and only the first 3 are moved and loaded.
I have to manually paste these files in \XnViewMPPortable\App\XnViewMP64 to use them.
But i read no user files should be pasted in the App folder because it gets deleted after an update.
When i make changes that for example are saved in bookmark.ini and close the app, the file is not moved to \XnViewMPPortable\Data and remains in the App folder.
Is it possible to include these 3 files please?

Edit: After spending some time i found the Launcher .ini file and was able to add these files under [FilesMove].
Everything works now.
But doesn't this file gets overwritten after an update because it is saved in the App folder?

Fixed in 1.8.0

This is fixed in 1.8.0. As you upgrade, those files will still have an issue, though.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
